How to Use a Whirly Pop

Making popcorn at home can be a fun, family-friendly activity that requires only a few tools and less than 10 minutes. The Whirley Pop is designed to make fresh popcorn over the stove using a pan with a lid and a specialty handle that stirs the kernels as they pop.

• 1

  Wash the Whirley Pop pan with a few drops of dishwashing liquid and warm water. Rinse and dry it thoroughly.

• 2

  Pour 1/2 cup popcorn kernels and between 1 and 3 tbsp. oil into the pan while it is cool.

• 3

  Place the pan on the stove on medium heat. Cover it and begin to turn the handle to stir the popcorn continuously as it heats up and begins to pop. The popping process takes approximately three minutes to complete once the ingredients are heated.

• 4

  Continue turning the handle until there is only an occasional pop or the handle becomes difficult to turn, indicating that the popcorn is ready. Remove the pan from heat and lift off the lid. Pour the popcorn into a bowl.
